In my opinion:
Everybody loved it, you will too!
Important factors in my choice
(1) Unimportant – (4) Very important
Personal recommendation
This school is a business school. You can either go and apply to the local program otherwise I guess you have to come from my school in France to be able to study there as it is part of the same Group.

If you want to study in barcelona, which I greatly recommand, you should share a house or a flat with people from different countries (especially different from yours). As an exemple in my flat were living 3 italians guys and I learnt to speak Italian.
